Founded in 1987, the still-young Beirne, Maynard & Parsons is a firm on a litigation-only diet. Its small fleet of trial attorneys represents a broad spectrum of Fortune 500 companies in civil trials, appeals and arbitration.
Beirne, Maynard & Parsons is serious about its work in the courtroom. The firm has a model courtroom in its Houston office, equipped with video cameras for post (mock) trial analysis, and it uses aggressive preparation techniques like jury profiling and hiring shadow juries and focus groups.
The firm bases its approach to litigation on the three Aristotelian principals of ethos, pathos and logos–character, emotion and logic. But don’t let its classical philosophy fool you–Beirne, Maynard & Parsons has gained recognition for its groundbreaking use of technology. Most notably, the firm has earned acclaim for its use of high-tech exhibits in the courtroom.
The firm also touts what it calls a “trial-in-a-box” approach to attorney mobility. At all times, attorneys have at their disposal custom-made shipping crates containing the materials and technology required to conduct a sophisticated trial. This way, clients can be assured of receiving the same level of service in a remote Texas forum as they would near the firm’s headquarters.
